Laundry is awkward

By Julia Boriss · Wednesday, March 28,2007 12 a.m.

As you walk to the laundry room of your dorm with your detergent in one hand and three weeks worth of dirty laundry squeezing out of your mesh bag in the other, I hope that you also carry with you a high tolerance for awkwardness. Because doing laundry in the dorms is about as comfortable as grinding against strangers on the A bus on rainy days.

Quarterly report

By Brian J. McFillen and Brain J. McFillen · Wednesday, March 28,2007 12 a.m.

My 10-year high-school reunion is coming up this summer, and I’m a bit nervous. Not that I’m doing well in the scheme of things, really. “Grad student” might not be as exciting of a job as “rock star” (or, OK, a lot of things) but it certainly beats “cubicle drone.”

The military has found no criminal wrongdoing in the friendly fire death of Army Ranger Pat Tillman in Afghanistan. But it says there were critical errors in reporting the former NFL star’s death and failing to provide details to his family. Army and Defense Department investigators said Monday that officers looking into the incident passed along misleading and inaccurate information and delayed reporting their belief that Tillman was killed by his fellow soldiers. The investigators recommended the Army take action against the officers.

Sleep aids can compound insomnia-related problems

By Erin Riley · Tuesday, March 27,2007 12 a.m.

Tossing and turning with frustration and exhaustion every night, freshman Amy Tilles used to count the minutes until she could take another dose of sleeping pills. Tilles experienced sleep deprivation, which is common among college students. She turned to over-the-counter sleeping pills to end her sleepless nights. “I took sleeping pills so that I could sleep regularly so I did not fail school,” Tilles said. “I wouldn’t be tired until 10 in the morning unless I took the pills.” Students are experiencing more difficulties with sleeping disorders than in past years. “In national surveys in the 1970s, approximately 25 percent of college students indicated they have sleeping problems,” said Nancy Stockton, director of counseling and psychological services at the IU Health Center. “But in several surveys since 2000, almost 75 percent of students report sleeping difficulties.”
